A monoline, oblique sans with gently rounded curves and consistent stroke weight. The design favors open counters and clear, simple construction, with smooth, circular bowls and restrained terminals that read as clean and contemporary. Proportions feel balanced and slightly narrow in the vertical rhythm, with a modest x-height and generous internal space that keeps letters from clogging at text sizes. Numerals follow the same understated geometry, maintaining an even texture alongside the letters.
Works well for editorial subheads and pull quotes where a refined slant adds emphasis without sacrificing clarity. It also suits contemporary branding and packaging systems that need a clean, premium feel, and can function in UI or product contexts for labels and short strings where a sleek oblique voice is desired.
The overall tone is modern and composed, projecting a quiet sophistication rather than a loud, stylized personality. Its slanted posture adds motion and polish, while the straightforward forms keep it feeling neutral and professional.
Likely designed to provide a polished, contemporary sans with an inherent oblique attitude—combining minimal, geometric clarity with a gentle sense of movement for emphasis in display and supporting text roles.
Round letters (like O/C/e) stay very smooth and even, while diagonals (A/V/W/X/Y) look crisp and stable, helping maintain a consistent texture across mixed-case settings. The italics feel integral to the design rather than a simple slant, giving the face a purposeful, editorial cadence.
